Violinist Fenella Humphreys with old and new sounds

Fenella Humphreys opens up a selection of music from a violinist’s point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Today, violinist Fenella Humphreys shares her personal musical discoveries - from a harmonica quartet performing Sibelius’s Valse Triste to the fearless violin playing of Ginette Neveu.

Fenella also finds calm in Adrian Sutton’s score to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and a piece by Cristobal de Morales which has proved to be a comforting antidote to insomnia.

Plus, battle music which was way ahead of its time…

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
